larval DA2 motor neuron

ID: FBbt_00001567

Larval motor neuron that innervates dorsal acute muscle 2 (muscle 2) via type Ib synapses (Landgraf et al., 1997; Hoang and Chiba, 2001; Meng et al., 2019. It is the third-born U neuron, developing from the third ganglion mother cell that differentiates from neuroblast NB7-1 (Cleary and Doe, 2006; Seroka et al., 2020. It has a monopolar morphology and its dendrites remain ipsilateral (Seroka and Doe, 2019; Meng et al., 2019. (Cleary and Doe, 2006, Zarin et al., 2019, Seroka and Doe, 2019, Seroka et al., 2020, Hoang and Chiba, 2001, Landgraf et al., 1997, Meng et al., 2019)

DA2 previously thought to correspond to U2 based on cell body position (personal communication from Matthias Landgraf - FBrf0221138). Now known to correspond to U3 (Zarin et al., 2019; Meng et al., 2019.
